Toshiba Qosmio F50-F55

Introduction

This is a guide to running Linux with the Toshiba Qosmio F50-F55 laptop.

This guide is intended to provide you details on how well this laptop works with Linux and which modules you need to configure. For details on how to actually install and configure the required modules have a look at our guides section for distribution specific instructions.

Notes

For full support from this laptop you will need to use a distribution which uses kernel version 2.6.27 or higher.

Graphics

You need to install the proprietary NVIDIA package to get full support from the NVIDIA Geforce 9700M GTS.

Summary

As long as you are using an up to date Linux distribution (such as Fedora 10 or Ubuntu 8.10) and install the NVIDIA drivers, you shouldn't have too many issues with running Linux on the Toshiba Qosmio F50-F55.

Bluetooth

(Solution for debian distros, it will run with minor changes on others)

I'm trying to follow your instructions for lirc (for the remote controller), for my Toshiba Qosmio f60-159 and Ubuntu 12.04, but no way. It seems that linux-modules-source is no longer available, so I don't know how to configure the module ene0200.

Please, any help?

Thanks for this tutorial, and thanks in advance,Miguel
